I love working with Love Gold, seeking gorgeous jewels from across the globe. The best discoveries tend to be the ones you wouldn’t see in the average boutique, so when I spent a few weeks in LA this summer, I went hunting…

Are you ready for the Met Ball? Miriam Haskell is! The costume jewelry brand has crafted a collection inspired by this year’s theme – designer Charles James, or as Cristobal Balenciaga once called him, “the world’s best and only dressmaker” (What a shift from punk to elegant ball gowns!).

Halloween and costumes go hand-in-hand, but that doesn’t mean your jewelry has to follow suit. Have fun with the holiday’s themes – just do it with pieces that you can also wear outside the month of October!

The starlet wore the Art Deco fan button earrings […]

Lately, I’m finding myself wearing my friend Dana Lorenz’s Fallon jewels more than my diamonds. No doubt, it takes pieces that pack a major it-factor to lure me away from my ice, and Dana’s have “it” in spades! With a knack for brilliant juxtapositions and an innate sense of dangerous glamour, Fallon’s mixed-material accessories always […]
